New Guy

I've been on ROP for a few years and it's gone to h3ll so I decided to come over here and see what's goin on.

When I was born in 1985 my parents were using thier 4 speed 70 4-4-2 for a daily driver and it was the very first car I ever rode in. I was doomed right from the start! When i turned 16 I started bracket racing the same 4-4-2 in High School class off and on until we got my 85 Cutlass goin.

I recently got rid of my 5.0 Mustang and came back to the reliable Cutlass for a daily get around. Pretty proud that my grocery getter has a 455 and TH400.

Thanks Guys. The best 1/4 mile time is 12.94 @104 hangin the left front about a foot in the air for a few feet. That was an original piston 4bbl 455 with big valve G heads, Lunati bracket master cam and cast iron intake. I think with the Holley Street Dominator intake it should be down in the 12.70's now but I haven't had a chance to get it on the 1/4 yet.

Welcome to CO

Your Olds look's like a thrill to drive. I can tell from here you have a big smile on your face when you lay the hammer down

Nice choice of color on your car. Glad you found this place. I think my cars' 1/4 mile times would be competitive with yours if they were pushed off a large bluff...but I have had no way to actually prove this.
